Our argument absolutely comes from different perspectives and now I can understand where you are coming from. I think it comes down to viewing women differently factoring in our age. This might be an interesting debate to bounce ideas off from each other.
I agree 100%, and believe me, I have very good friends that say the same you do. One of them would like that LTR, but instead, always seems to have one of the 4 or 5 "plates" of lower caliber women around him. He's my age and at the point where, he can meet, date and fvck women on a regular basis, but the one that he would really like to be with, for the long term, always seems to allude him for this reason or that. His attitude is in the $hitter and he's all but given up.

So, my age group, it's very hard to define "high quality." I want to view myself as a high quality man, but it doesn't make sense since it's undefined for me. If I can define it, obvious answers aside (work, hobby, fitness, etc.) it would be motivation and drive. It's more the 'potential' for young men, which are intangible to everyone else. I'm not going to pay $500 a month for a car when I can save up capital. It doesn't matter how much I make. I like to change my own oil, hell, what am I going to do on a Sunday morning. How do young men with 'potential' appear high value?
I think this stems from the mind set of women loving value. And why, to counteract that, waiting comes into play. Why does a women have sex with you on the first or second date? And if she does is it because she "likes" you. Or is it because she just wants to have sex with
someone, and if so, just as long as it's someone of "value"? If you wait, the three or four dates, you're not only investing your time yourself, but so is she. I don't take it as her "dangling the carrot", I take it as her investing herself in you.

How do we even out the playing field with other young men wasting their money on fast cars and penthouse apartments? I think - it's the mindset, more importantly the indifference mindset. I'm not tall, handsome or even rich. Game has changed my life (and it can change yours too! Click here!)
Having a nice car and apartment will show value, but if a woman is with a guy soley because of those things, then the relationship will be based on his value, and not on him.

The way I view relationships is the same way women view guys with potential.
It can be there, but it might not be there.
My view on sex is what women view fast cars and luxury suites - Instant Gratification. If it's within reach, why not grasp it?
Why 'Wait for it?'
I know my Honda can travel so far and my rented bedroom can only hold so much. My dating experience can attest to that. You aren't guaranteed a second date even if you play it perfectly. My dating experience can also attest that women who fvck you will find a way to justify it, even if fvcking you again justifies it. None of the women I've had sex with on a date have went cold. Maybe I'm knocking on wood. Maybe when Woody is in, Little Bo Peep loses her sheep. Your d!ck has made its mark, although temporary, it did. You left a part of you in her that impulses the need to call you. Plate security.
Right, my experience as well. Sometimes ONS's are just simply that, ONS's. It is what it is and everybody moves on. Sometimes though, you do see them more. The thing is though, when this happens, the relationship is based off of sex. You two are virtual strangers then you have sex, then you try to get to know each other and figure out if you're compatible. But this way is backwards, and I feel it does effect the natural "growth" of the relationship. It sets the relationship on a different path then if you were to
know the person first,
then have sex.

You are absolutely more experienced than I am with relationships and women in general. I think that plays a factor in our respective dating strategies. Your experiences allows the ability to screen and screen and screen. Similar to the strategies used by women who are tired of players and assho|es. Every young man I see around me is predisposed to relationships, both 'high quality' and 'potential.' Ahhh, someone is going to get pissed at me writing this. Even men who fvcked their online first date can't hold back the urge to see her again the next day, even if she requested. Even the following day after that. Even if it means driving 20 miles each way. Young men lack the experience and foresight because natural urges and emotions get in the way of rational thought. Taking away urges and emotions leaves you with rational thought. The woman is not the same as she was before you fvcked her. The red flags begin to appear after you are sanitized from her love bug. It makes screening much more effective when you are rational.
Here's my thought process on this whole thing. The longer you wait to have sex with her is in direct proportion to how long you will continue to have sex with her. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but if you think about it, at least in my case, that's generally how it's worked out. I've had a $hit tone of ONS's from bars, and most of them, I'll maybe see a few times, maybe, but the ones I have three or four dates with, are always the ones I end up seeing for longer.
If these chicks are bouncing around from one flashy rich guy to the next, then obviously, that $hit's not going to last. If it does, it will based off BS, and the chick will be miserable, and therefore so will the guy. From the outside looking in, you may think these guys have it made, but from the inside, most of these relationships are $hit. At the beginning, sure, they're going strong, but when it comes down to the brass tax, the relationship is based off of his money and her looks. Not the ground work for a strong LTR.
But hey, sex is sex, we all need it. I just went on a meet and greet coffee date today with someone I met online. Went well, she's not LTR material, but sexy and definitly bangable, plateable, think so, we'll see. This one, I would have loved to go back to her place and lay it down. Logistics didn't work out, I'm going to try next time though.
